Gameplay

Divided Ground is a computer wargame that simulates Arab–Israeli military conflict between the foundation of Israel in 1948 through the Yom Kippur War in 1973.[2]

Development

Divided Ground was developed by TalonSoft as an entry in its Campaign series, which had previously included titles such as East Front and Rising Sun.[1] It reuses the game engine from earlier titles in the series.[2] The game was first announced under the title Arab-Israeli Wars in March 2001.[3] Divided Ground was shipped to retailers on July 31.[1]

Reception

Divided Ground received a negative review from Computer Gaming World's Bruce Geryk, who argued that its "scenario design is quite possibly the worst of any recent computer game."[4] In a middling review, Tom Chick of GameSpot wrote, "The Campaign engine has been around far too long to be simply rehashed with so few changes."[2]
